Colonia Russa by Santa Maria Novella was launched in 1913, marking its place in the brand’s long history of elegant and distinctive scents. This fragrance opens with a bright citrus-aromatic blend that includes bergamot, neroli, and Amalfi lemon, creating an invigorating freshness. The heart introduces rose, lavender, and petitgrain, adding layers of floral and green notes. The base is warm and powdery, with musk, civetta, and benzoin providing a rich, enveloping finish that contrasts beautifully with the initial zesty top notes.
